In the last North American Review DR..
McGlynn asserted that the Germans Of the
OF the Western States were attempting to
G .rmanize the Catholic church. This
charge at the time sustained by many
papers in the East, has been denied by the
prominent members of the Church in
the western States. Bishop Ire
land of S.. Paul says: The Catholics OF
German birth or descent in America are
making no attempt to Germanize either
Church or country. Assertions to the
contrary are founded, so far as they have
any foundation, upon the sayings of lndl-
yidual Germans who are in no way repre-
sentative men and who have no
noticeable following. The Church
in America, in all her human
appointments is not German, nor Irish,
nor French, nor Polish, nor Italian. 1t is
American. Her own principles permit
her to be nothing else Ia my opinion
the general meeting OF German laymen
and priests at Chicago will be q sort of a
good-natured hand shaking. If anything
else, the originators of it and the participa
tors in it will have made, in the eyes of
the Church and country great and I'M
fortunate mistake

Among the Southern States
which are actively engaged in
political discussions is Virgin
ia. During the last two elections the vote
of this state has been very evenly divided.
The increase of the republican strength
has been constant. The great question
under discussion has been the tariff. the
immense resources of the state have been
greatly developed and the need of protec
ton has been constantly
demonstrated. The republicans have
therefore gained the votes of all those
whose interests are involved in change
of tariff. The prospects for the success OF
the republican party are consequently very
fatterino It is united and under able di
rection The only requisite necessary Is
hard and efficient work which seems to
be the determination of all members of
the party.

Mail Service over the Mountain


There is an old and long establish
ed mail route from Londonderry,
over the mountain, to Manchester
Centre. The difficulties in the way
of making regular trips over this
route, in the early spring, can only
be fully appreciated by those who
have travelled over our mountain
roads at this season. The present
season, owing to the immense fall of
snow, has been unusually bad. For
some six or eight miles on this route
the snow has been piled up, almost
literally, mountain high, and when the
thaws began to come, travel by team
was "stopped Short" apparently,
"never to go again" In fact the
mandates of thaw, in this case, is
as memorable as "taXes and death. p"
4 thing that must be submitted to,
for the very good and simple reason
that you cannot help yourself. Last
winter Herbert H. Howe, of this vii
lage, who had previously established
favorable reputation as mail car
rier on the Chester route, bought out
this over mountain line, and has since
run it to the entire satisfaction of all
parties in interest. Came snow OF
blow, rain Or shine, cold or hot, heav-
en- knows we haven't had any of the
latter, come what would that mail
went and came as regular as the
opening and closing of day. If
horses could not draw it Herb, could
shack it," and SO he has for trip af-
ter trip. At first he would take his
team as far as he could, then leave
it, throw the mail on his shoulders
and with a merry heart and cherry
word for everybody would trudgt
along. Each time the distance fol
the team would grow shorter and the
foot passage longer, but this made ne
difference, still that merry whistle
and mail bag crossed and re-crosset
that snow buried mountain. Thi,
continued until the entire distanc,
was made on foot. The reader viii
appreciate the fact that in all this
due regard was had to time, when w
say that one trip last week was mad
in five hours from Manchester Cen
tire to this village, via Landgrove ant
Londonderry. This time Mr.. Ben
Sprague, a brother-in-law, share,
Herbs joys and sorrows, and doubt
less took turns with him in luggin
the bag. We claim to have, in MI
Howe, the smartest mail carrier ths
ever cracked a whip, aud we wi
match him, to walk or ride, sing G
whistle, against any stage driver tina
ever mounted the boot.

SONG OF THE coNQuERNG SITTER

From the foot of old Glebe defiance outiinging
The SITTER Is hurting its carlels of flame,
And each mountaincer its praises Is singing,
As the foes of the people are writing In shame
CHORUS,
Then hurrah for the sfrLR, let mountain wind
fan her,
She has hurled her defiance three twelve month,
and more,
The people attend her, in trouble defend her,
Triumphant are rising their enemies DER,
Up from the south came the naughty invader,
Ana laid his rude hands ON bold SITTER Johu
lie found him surrounded with plowman ant
spader,
The proud mountain yeomen gave vent to thei
scorn.
Then hurrah for the SITTER sc.
They forgot all their difference, each persona
dissension,
And rallied with money the SITTER to save,
And ilnng back In their faces the "rings" impr,
cations,
And babe the bold SITTER In triumph to wave.
Then hurrah for the SITTER, &c.
